Smart Market

The Smart Market, located in room 1209 of the EPIC building

Stocked with fresh coffee, snacks, energy and soft drinks, grab-and-go meals, and sandwiches, Smart Market locations have opened in EPIC, Storrs, Robinsonand Martin Halls. Over 200 products are available, whenever the building is open.

  • Offers snacks, drinks and meals, including more nutritious options.
  • Multiple hot beverage brewing options

How it works

  • Use a credit, debit or campus card at the main kiosk or at any door.
  • As you make selections, the system tracks the items you pick up from one cooler to the next, displaying your shopping cart at each door. Adding items to the cart does not commit you to buy; there’s plenty of time to browse and change your mind. The system only charges for items you take away.
  • Once you’ve finished shopping, visit the main kiosk to review your order, print a detailed receipt or simply walk away. Each transaction automatically closes out after 60 seconds.
